A future efficient use of European resources in research and development of safe methods for final disposal of high-level radioactive waste calls for close interaction between European end users in planning of national programmes as well as in development of international proj...

For technical/economical optimisation of concepts of future European repositories for rad waste it would be of great help if assessment is made of the experience from the various large-scale underground laboratories for testing techniques and which specifically aims at compari...

The general objective is to provide a platform for bringing together scientists working in the various fields of radiation monitoring and radiation dosimetry. It is aimed to provide a link between the different research fields concentrated in cost-shared contracts or concerted...

The overall aim of this Concerted Action is to improve the reliability of assessments of intakes of radionuclides and of the resulting doses delivered either to workers or, in the case of accidental releases to the environment, to the general public. Using an existing database...

We want to establish a European radiobiology network, specifically aimed at imp roving the state of radiation protection. The network will be together laboratories concerned with different biological aspects of radiation and dosimetry of internally deposited radionuclides. It ...

The International Radiobiology Archives is a cooperative venture by European, jointly with Russian, US, and Japanese scientists to collect and safeguard data from long-term radiation studies on animals to make them available for further evaluation. The proposed work will compl...

Four large scale facilities QUENCH, LIVE, DISCO-H, and COMET are offered to partners from EU member countries and associated states. The QUENCH, DISCO-H and COMET facilities are already operating and have a high reputation in the Community. Their overall purpose is to investig...

The reactor safety experimental data bases acquired in European integral system test facilities provide reference information for the understanding of governing physical phenomena and for the validation of related computational methodologies.The present proposal aims at the ex...

The proposal addresses the scaling issue, e.g. the transfer of results from experiments to real reactor conditions in a systematic and reliable way. Anet work of European experts will summarise the theoretical basis for scaling and scrutinize applications; strengths, weaknesse...

Most of European MTRs will be more than 40 years old by 2010.
This CA is addressing two relaxingly urgent problems:
1) The risk to have most of the MTRs closed down by the end of the decade.
2) To have shortly in Europe many obsolete research reactors from the safety viewpoin...
